Hate You, Love You
Dinner

"Because... After meeting you... I never thought about it again,"

"A- what ?" Amara muttered softly but Gio could still hear it clearly. Amara's eyes festered as she said it and it made Gio misbehave.

"Mmmm... I-i mean... Mmh a-what happened to us is purely my fault. So i'm... Focus my mind on finding a way out of the problems I have done. Until I don't think about him anymore" Gio explained.

The shock was clearly visible on Amara's face. Gio did not want to make his wife afraid. Gio is worried that his love for Amara will make his wife stay away from him. Gio realized it wasn't him Amara wanted.

"A-I understand," said Amara with a faint smile. For a moment he thought that Gio had other feelings for him long ago. But what the man said made sense. Gio is someone who is full of responsibility.

"Of course he thinks of you because of his great sense of responsibility" Amara told himself in his heart.

The elevator door was open soon. They arrived at the desired floor. Amara stepped out of her legs and she was amazed by the luxury of their dining place tonight.

This was the first time Amara had come to such a luxurious place. The ones who come must be important people and money. They look at the clothes and accessories they wear. The place is not so full, because for them comfort is number one. The soft jazz music further refined the atmosphere of the night.

"Come on," Gio invited as Amara was still standing still glued to her place.

"Ah yes..," said Amara with a nod of the head. He followed Gio's steps.

"Giovanni Abraham" said Gio to a waiter dressed in a neat suit. The man smiled at Gio and invited Gio and Amara to follow him.

Amara stepped her foot deeper into the restaurant. He was still amazed by the atmosphere created there. And Amara was even more fascinated when she found out where this dinner was in the VIP area with a beautiful view of the city at night. Its location a little away from the other table makes it and Gio and Evan can enjoy dinner without interruption.

"You like it ?" Ask Gio timidly. For Amara, Gio wants to give his best and not disappoint.

"I-yeah, I like it. It's beautiful here, Gio," replied Amara.

Gio breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God if you like him, Amara" he said, smiling gently at his wife.

"May I have Evan for a minute, I want to go to the toilet first,"

"certain... Here baby. Amara grabbed Evan in her lap.

"Thank you" said Gio and he walked away.

"This is the baby's special chair, ma'am. This chair is specially designed so that it will feel comfortable and safe when occupied." A waiter came by to bring a special baby chair.

"Thank you" said Amara and he was helped by the waiter, sitting Evan in his chair.

Evan was not fussy at all, the 9-month-old baby was sitting sweet in his chair. As if very supportive of dating mom and dad tonight.

Amara opened her bag because she remembered something. He looked for his flat object in the bag. After getting it, Amara quickly turned off the power. Tonight Amara doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone. Including... Danis...

Amara took a deep breath. Suddenly his chest was pounding. He does not understand his own feelings that want to enjoy time with Gio alone. Shouldn't Amara not feel that way ?

"What's up ?" Asked Gio who suddenly appeared and sat down in front of Amara. He asked like that because he saw Amara's face stiffened with a cell phone in her hand.

"Huh ? Oh no !" Amara quickly put her phone back in her bag.

"Thank God if so. Want to order now ?" Tanya Gio and Amara nodded their head slowly as a form of answer.

Both ordered a special menu at the restaurant. While waiting for his order to arrive, Amara and Gio chatted lightly about Amara's work and college activities. They also tease Evan, their son. They look like a happy little family.

Amara was seen rubbing her arms several times. What Amara did never goes unnoticed by Gio. "Are you cold?" Ask Gio.

"Hmmm... This place is colder than our home" replied Amara.

"You want to wear my suit ?" Ask Gio. Actually Gio could have just opened the suit and put it on Amara. But Gio was so keeping Amara's feelings in check. He did not want to be an aggressive man who would make Amara afraid.

"Can ? But you will be cold" replied Amara.

Gio who heard that smiled widely. "of course you can," he replied as he unbuttoned the suit. Then Gio stood up and approached Amara to attach the suit to Amara's shoulder.

"You don't worry, I'm a very strong man" Gio continued, lifting his arms like a bodybuilder. Amara who saw it laughed.

Then Amara immediately bowed her head, her cheeks feeling hot as she remembered how Gio was bare-chested. The muscles that adorn Gio's body look loamy. Surely the man often exercise to maintain his body fitness.

And that's not the only thing that makes Amara's cheeks red. The fragrance of Gio's masculine perfume, invokes and indulges his sense of smell. Amara felt hugged indirectly by her husband. Thinking about it made Amara's body crumble abruptly. "Yes God... What are you thinking, Amara ? Stop thinking no-no !!" Amara's annoyance in heart.

Soon their orders arrived, and the two enjoyed their dinner.

***

It all feels so good. Good food, comfortable atmosphere and unrelenting chatter. Make Amara and Gio really enjoy their dinner.

Evan wasn't fussy at all. He was busy talking and playing. It made her parents feel so angry with her.

It didn't feel like they were there for two hours. Even Evan had already fallen asleep on Gio's lap. It was getting late, and the three of them had to go home soon. Even though Gio and Amara still want to spend more time.

"Mmhh.. Would you like it if I had dinner again?" Ask Gio timidly.

"Ten-of course," replied Amara with a nod of the head.

Gio was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. "Mhhh... What if I just take you ? I mean, we're just gonna go alone to this place,"

"Yes, I want to" replied Amara without taking the time to think first.

Gio was surprised to hear the answer that Amara said. So did Amara, he did not understand why he agreed to Gio's invitation just like that.
